Bitdefender - How to remove components

Hi, new forum user here (Mike).

I have a 2009 iMac 24" running Mavericks.

A few months ago, I stupidly installed Bitdefender anti-virus. It wasn't immediately obvious that it was slowing my system down considerably.

I have since become aware of the performance hit I was taking, so deleted the application.

Unfortunately, the associated daemons are still starting up on reboot. One in particular, a serious memory and CPU hog, is BDDaemon. I have tried to remove it using "sudo launchctl", which managed to remove a couple of the others associated with this program, but says there is no such process as BDDaemon. Activity Monitor disagrees, and it's sitting there happily running.

How can I get rid of this confounded thing???

I don't really understand the process launcher, so wonder if there is a BDDaemon file of some kind I can delete, or a configuration file I can edit?

Thanks and regards,

Mike

Found the answer here:

Many thanks to John Cairns.

Their own uninstaller would be the first place to look for any A/V software.

Appears BitDefender has one for some of their A/V software but not for the scanner.

Nice find on a manual uninstall.

I'd have thought so too, but I read so many (earlier) postings on various forums (fora?) that its own uninstaller left these bits behind...

regards,

Mike
